Renegade SF Winter 2013

I have not blogged much in the last few months, I apologize. I have had no motivation, no real aims or intentions for blogging as I work through my grief. However one of my goals in 2014 is to get back on track with blogging.

The weekend before Christmas (during winter solstice!) Matt and I stayed in San Francisco and hung out in the bay area. We went shopping, ate at some of our fave vegan places and tried new places. The high light was the Renegade Craft Fair (at least for me). It sparked some ideas in my brain, I got to see some friends and buy some fun stuff.

As you can see it was busy, my anxiety was pretty messed up during that weekend, all the crowds did not help.I always pick the best days to travel huh?

Some vegan beauty products I bought/shops I bought from were:

Fat and the Moon: Pimple Mud and Yoni Duster. Both items work great. The mask can be used as a spot treatment or a mask. I like the texture and the way it dries. The yoni dust saved me that weeken when I used disposable pads, I used a bit of dust on each pad and did not get heat rash!
Fanchromatic Nails: I liked how they featured standard and mini sized bottles of their polishes. I picked up Tar and Feathers - a bar glitter consisting of red, black and white - all my fave colors!
Cosmic Bath and Beauty: I am already a fan of the company so I had to buy something. Shop local even if you are 90 minutes away! I bought a cinnamon scented soap, it is so nice. After using it the smell travels through the house making me want snickerdoodle cookies and tea!

I could not leave Renegade without kitties! I always search for cute plushies and anything cat related. I scored a few new friends!

2014 - watch out. I have more crafts, vegan recipes, zines and cool stuff poppin' up on the blog! Get ready!

Tropical Shower Delight

I am slowly feeling better from whatever I caught last week. I enjoyed a roller derby game over the weekend, lots of sleep and a tropical shower! My mood is still blah and I get drained pretty easily but all in all I am getting better!

I received my body care order from The Sudsatorium last week and even with a stuffed up nose I smelled the delights wrapped up in the package.  I found the company while searching for new vegan beauty booty online. At first the packaging/display reminded me of Lush but then I was caught up in the unique scents and ingredients they were using.

Enter Monkey Business Soap, a delightful banana packed bar of pure delight. It has actual banana pieces floating in the bar. It smells fruity and creamy thanks to the real bananas and soy yogurt. Not tons of lather but tons of scent and it leaves me feeling clean. The bar actually scents up the whole bathroom and I cannot stop smelling it.

There are many delights I want to try from The Sudsatorium, where do I start? From body care and lip products to shampoo! So much to choose from. All vegan and handmade to boot! Go check them out for yourself! Get clean and smell nice!
